/dev/mouse is depreciated. All it's supposed to be is a link to /dev/psaux as far as I recall but on my system it doesn't exist either. I'd guess it was removed as it's not supposed to be used any more. The most recommended thing to change it to would be /dev/input/mice as this reads from all mice that the system knows of so you don't have to manually specify each one you attach to the system.
Yeah, I hate that. On my laptop I almost always use an external mouse, and I don't want my scratch pad to be activate so tapping it doesn't delete my work halfway through typing it.. so I set the usb mouse as the only input for mouse movement. Then I actually take my laptop somewhere and want to use the scratchpad because the usb mouse is at home.. which means I have to go hack /etc/X11/xorg.conf because X won't even start without a mouse. Is there any way for me to say "use the usb mouse if available, otherwise use the scratch pad".. cause that's what I really want.
